Fal River Cottage is a small, dog-friendly, traditional cottage, which benefits from the most amazing river views. It is based in Malpas (near Truro) and is just three doors down from the very popular Heron Inn.

The cottage itself dates to the 1800's and was tastefully renovated in 2019, offering traditional features alongside modern-living luxuries.

To the front, there is a small decked area which is ideal for alfresco breakfasts. This leads into the lounge, which is well equipped with a log burner, TV, books and games. To the rear of the cottage there is a new kitchen/dining area, which is well equipped for home cooking.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, which share a traditional ‘Jack'n'Jill' bathroom. There is a spacious and light double bedroom allowing you to watch the river as you lie in bed. The second bedroom is a cozy single, which also serves as access to the rear garden.

There are steep stairs leading to the rear garden featuring two separate seating areas, which both benefit from the amazing river views. The upper level is great for kicking back and lying down on those hot summer days when a little shade is welcome. The lower, patio area is more open and offers comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of Cornish countryside.

    Would recommend this two bed cosy cottage to everyone that can cope with steps, as fairly steep. The views from the lounge and main bedroom are amazing. There are even better views if you go up the steps outside ( fairly steep ) but well worth the effort ! The cottage is warm and cosy especially when you light the wood burner The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The Heron pub two doors down is a friendly welcoming pub with excellent food, but book as it’s very busy.

    Fal River cottage is in a fabulous location, river views are stunning and it’s very peaceful. The cottage itself was spotless and very comfortable. Communications with Phil were spot on.

    The view is beautiful, the cottage is lovely with a nice area at the front to sit out. There are plenty of places to visit in this part of the county, and the best thing of all is that it is three doors down from the Heron, That is always worth a visit.

    We were two Australian friends, first time in Cornwall and the cottage was perfect with lovely views, a deck to sit outside on and cosy/traditional inside which we loved. The host was super friendly and gave clear instructions and help all the way through, with tips for us of things to do that really suited us. They even had scones with jam and cream for us when we arrived, which was such a nice touch. Overall we loved our stay and it was hard to leave!

    A beautiful little cottage in a magical location. We were sad to leave after a 3 night stay but we hope we may return for a little longer next time.

    The cottage is in the most beautiful position where the rivers meet. The tiered patios behind the cottage are wonderful and very comfortable seating made for a lovely evening with a glass of wine and watching river life. The bedrooms and beds are comfortable but we struggled being in a double bed on a warm evening, we are just used to a bigger bed. The kitchen is beautifully done, a couple of ovenware dishes would have been useful, but we managed none the less. We had a couple of evenings watching TV but we personally found the new chair and sofa very uncomfortable (different to the photos) which was a shame.Huge range of games and books, the fabulous Heron Inn on your doorstep and a trip down the river to Falmouth completed our stay. Phil was very attentive and couldn’t fault the service he gave and even arranged to send a Teddy that got left behind! Thank you for the delicious cream tea, it started the week off beautifully.
